Services
Steel Detailing
We create precise steel connection details and fabrication drawings using BIM technology. Our team produces shop drawings that ensure accurate manufacturing of structural components. This service helps contractors avoid costly field modifications through virtual model validation before construction begins.
3D Modeling
Our 3D modeling service creates data-rich virtual representations of structural systems. Using StruCad and Tekla software, we develop constructability models that identify potential clashes before construction. This technology improves coordination between architectural, mechanical, and structural systems for complex building projects.
Structural Engineering
We provide structural calculations and load analysis for steel constructions. Our engineers develop solutions that meet safety codes while optimizing material usage. This service ensures buildings maintain structural integrity while achieving architectural design goals through efficient engineering solutions.
CNC Integration
Our CNC integration service connects digital models directly to manufacturing equipment. We generate machine-readable files that automate beam line production processes. This technology reduces fabrication errors and improves efficiency in steel component manufacturing for large-scale construction projects.
Surveying
We conduct site surveys to validate existing conditions against design models. Our team captures precise measurements of structures to ensure accurate retrofitting or expansion plans. This service prevents costly discrepancies between design intent and actual field conditions during construction projects.
